Cheers mate, the connectors appear to show the 2 units as being independant ie seprate video / audio connectors for each headrest. how do i show the same video feed on both screens ? freelander 2 SE black and beige - now sold |

Just wondered as some are mounting AV sockets under passenger seat, why can't the power source come from the electric seats? Is there a similar connector under there, where the split feed cigar lighter cable could connect instead of ripping out all the console?

Oh and is it right that the screens are always powered up? It would make sense given that the feed is taken of the rear lighter socket and I believe this is permanent live but the Landrover Guide says that the screens only power up when the ignition is set to II.

Fitted mine this week and no they only power up when ignition on, quite an easy fit (about 4 hours). But 1 set of headphones are faulty as they only have sound in 1 ear Waiting to hear from the seller to see if he will replace. Also buy a decent composite cable the ones on ebay don't work, got another from tesco £20 and it works fine |

Is it me but whilst plugging back in the console cable after being disconnected I assume after the PTC recall(following mouthing of at the stealer ) I noticed that the rear audio controls have a similar 6 pin plug like the one on the base of the rear entertainment av thingy... I wonder if you can use this to pipe music to the rear screens from the head unit and so use the wireless headphones??? I'm intrigued now as I want to know what the plug does!

So if they only power when the ignition is on did you split the feed to the front 12v / lighter socket - or did you use the rear socket? Freelander 2 TD4 Auto, SE, Narvik Black, Alpaca full leather, Rear Headrest Entertainment System, 6 CD, 18 HSE Wheels, Privicy tints |

Ha - think i've just answered my own question - re-reading Chris's guide I notice it says front cigar lighter - make sense now as I know this only works with ignition on.

First part of the install done! Took about 2 hours but it was dark and 30 mins of that was spent looking for tools! Just got the headrests to go on now...
